3 Retention Deals

Yes thanks but there's very little in the specs, For some reason when I try to select a phone in the SE website the screen goes blank - I'll try it in Safari instead. Ironically the Nokia website works fine

Perhaps try the virginmobile site for better spec detail

An update - read a few reviews on the N95 and the SE890/902. Then got a surprise call from Three from India and got a new round of prices on the phones!

N95 £25 down from £45
N95 8Gb £105 down from £125

I then mentioned the C902 as the reviews are pretty good and was offered it for £20 which seemed good. Anyone think I could do better? Anyway decided to accept that just to get a look at the phone.

Any comments/thoughts?

'3' aren't doing good deals for leaving customers. I posted earlier as I'm past my 18 months - I gave cancellation notice and waited. In the first week I had two phone calls from 3, one offering standard new deal off their website, other offering a deal with way too few minutes (obviously didn't look at my usage). Then nothing. Today I rang ( last minute !!! ) as my disconnection date is tomorrow. They were absolutely not bothered. They offered the £21 700 mins or texts again (per website). I refused. Then he offered an £11 discount on current plan (750 mins & ? texts £35pm - was the £17.50pm when I signed up). Since I only use the calls not texts the 700 mixnmatch at £21 is cheaper than the £24 he was offering.

Basically what he said was '3' are offering the best deals on the market. They are losing existing customers looking for better than the advertised deals. I said I could sign up as a new customer via quidco cashback and refer-a-mate which would drop my cost to £14 pm on the 700 mixnmatch, but basically he wasn't interested. He just kept banging on about how good their deals were and offered nothing else.

So I'm one person who waited till the last minute but still wasn't offered anything good - they don't seem bothered about retaining existing customers.

Same here my contract runs out tommorow, they rang me and offered Nokia 3120, but i did not want the phone, i asked to swap it with Nokia 6500 and pay the difference but they told me it is ot possible, i'll try to speak to team in glasgow tommorow (ONLY IF I CAN GET THE DIRECT NUMBER TO THEM AS THE OFF SHORE GUYS CANNOT CONNECT ME) if i try tommorow and no luck i'll be heading to another network.

the off shore guys are on till about 9pm but they won't offer you anything spectacular, their offer is always the ones on their website.
